Document Description
The proposed project is to construct a 1,187-acre regional motorsports park. The project includes eight motorsports venues, motorsports-themed entertainment and guest amenities, and mixed-use light industrial, commercial and retail businesses supplying material, products, and services to the motorsports community. The facility will host motorsports events for approximately 10 months a year and be open for vehicle testing and other motorsports related activities year-round. The applicants are proposing to hold a maximum of 8 'Feature' or 'Major Feature' events a year that have the potential to attract the maximum facility capacity of 50,000 spectators on site at any one time. Potable water will be supplied by the Castle Airport Water System and the applicants are proposing construction of an on-site sewer plant to provide for wastewater treatment.
